There is an important principle that we must always keep in mind, that is, the only way to understand the long history of mankind is to realize that all this is the result of corruption. This is the only key to understanding history, including any kind of history, the history of the world, and the history recorded in the Bible. Without this principle, you can't understand human history.
History is to record the conflict between God and his power, and between the devil and his power. This important principle can not be ignored. It not only helps us to understand the past history, but also helps us to understand the world today. Similarly, it is the key to understanding the future. At the same time, it is the only way to understand our personal experience. We must discuss this aspect now.

After all, human beings are the highest product of God's great creation. No one is taller than people. God created man as the "master of all things" and lived above all creatures except God in the world.
Therefore, he naturally became the main target of the devil's attack and destruction. We can see from the lessons of history and the Bible that the devil always concentrates his firepower on human beings. His purpose is to separate people from God and prevent people from living the life God wants them to live.
How did the devil achieve this goal How to carry out this work? According to many lessons in the Bible, part of the work was done by the devil himself. But the devil is not everywhere. He can't be in several places at once. Please pay attention to the first chapter of the Book of Job, section 7.
One day, the sons of God gathered together and Satan came. God asked him where he came from. His answer is: "I walked around the ground and went back and forth." "He is not everywhere.
